First Asset Canadian Dividend Opportunity Fund

Fund Overview

The Fund invests in an actively managed portfolio (the "Portfolio") comprised primarily of high-quality dividend paying Canadian equity securities of Canadian utility issuers, pipeline issuers and telecommunications issuers and select higher yielding equity securities. The Portfolio will include equity securities of Canadian utility issuers, energy issuers, energy infrastructure issuers, REITs and telecommunications and cable issuers that the Manager believes will provide superior risk adjusted returns through a combination of dividend income and capital appreciation potential. The Portfolio could also include securities of dividend issuers like banks and financial services issuers that have strong track records of maintaining and raising distributions. Under normal market conditions, up to 30% of the Fund's Portfolio may be invested in foreign issuers.
